In an embodiment, the second substrate 202 is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) including conductive material and insulating material. The conductive material can be copper, tin, gold or aluminum. The insulating material can be epoxy, glass fiber, alumina, aluminum nitride or combinations thereof. In an embodiment, the connecting pad 104 has titanium, chromium, platinum, copper, nickel, gold, tin or alloys thereof. The connecting pad 104 can be single layer or multiple layers. In an embodiment, the second substrate 202 is a backplane of a backlight module or a backplane of a display.

Referring to FIG. 1B, multiple adhesive units 5 are arranged to cover more than two connecting pads 104. The adhesive unit 5 includes insulating material and conductive particles 501 dispersed within. As shown in FIG. 1B, there are two spacers 61, 62 optionally arranged between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 to keep a distance between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 in order to avoid the first light-emitting element 101 from directly contacting the connecting pad 104 or the adhesive unit 5 before being separated from the first substrate 201. In an embodiment, the distance between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 kept by the spacers 61, 62 is larger than twice of the height of the first light-emitting element 101. In another embodiment, the distance between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 can be maintained by other mechanism so the spacer may be omitted. In an embodiment, the spacers 61, 62 are arranged on edge portions and/or central portions of the second substrate 202. In another embodiment, one or more spacers (not shown) are arranged between the spacers 61, 62. In an embodiment, the spacers 61, 62 are formed on the first substrate 201 or on the second substrate 202 before transferring the first light-emitting elements 101. The spacers can be arranged to form various patterns on the substrate, and related descriptions can be referred to FIGS. 6A˜6C and related paragraphs.

The adhesive unit 5 physically and electrically connects the first light-emitting element 101 and the connecting pad 104. The adhesive unit 5 includes insulating material and conductive particles 501 dispersed within. The conductive particles 501 can be aggregated on the connecting pads 104 and on the first and second electrode pads 120, 121 by heating. The first light-emitting element 101 can be electrically connected to the connecting pad 104 through the aggregated conductive particles 501 within the insulating material of adhesive unit 5. The insulating material can be silicone, epoxy or the like. The material of the conductive particle 501 can be tin, copper, silver, gold or the like. To be more specific, the aggregated conductive particles 501 form a conductive pillar 502 connecting the electrode pads and the connecting pads as shown in FIG. 1D. In the embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive unit 5 after connecting with the first light-emitting element 101 is less than 5 μm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive unit 5 after connecting with the first light-emitting element 101 is larger than 3 μm. In further another embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive unit 5 after connecting with the first light-emitting element 101 is between 1 μm and 4 μm. In the embodiments, the adhesive unit is an ACP (anisotropic conductive paste) or an ACF (anisotropic conductive film).

In an embodiment, the adhesive unit 5 is composed only of insulating material. A metal structure (not shown) is formed on a surface of the first and second electrode pads 120, 121 facing the connecting pad 104. The metal structure can be single layer or multiple layers. The metal structure is deformed to electrically and physically connect to the connecting pad 104 and the first and second electrode pads 120, 121 after being heated and/or pressed, so the deformed metal structure forms the electrical connection path between the connecting pad 104 and the first and second electrode pads 120, 121. In an embodiment, the metal structure includes lead, tin, indium, gold or alloys thereof. Before the connection pad 104 is covered by the adhesive unit 5, the surface of the connection pad and the surface of the metal structure can be oxidized so there is oxide formed thereon. When the adhesive unit 5 is flux, the adhesive unit 5 can remove the oxide on the surface of the metal structure and the oxide on the surface of the connecting pad 104. Therefore, the adhesive unit 5 improves the strength of connection between the metal structure and the connecting pad 104 and facilitates the deformation of the metal structure within the adhesive unit 5.

In an embodiment, the adhesive unit 5 includes insulating material and conductive particles. The first and second electrode pads 120, 121 can be metal and include multiple layers. In an embodiment, the metal includes lead, tin, indium, gold or alloy thereof. In an embodiment, the outermost layer of the first and second electrode pads 120, 121 includes lead, tin, indium, gold or alloy thereof. The conductive particles can be aggregated onto the connecting pads 104 and the first and second electrode pads 120, 121 via heat and/or force. Then, the conductive particles within the adhesive unit 5 are electrically connected to and directly connected to the first and second electrode pads 120, 121 and the connecting pads 104.

Referring to FIG. 1C, the protrusions 30 is formed on the intermediate layer 3, and the first light-emitting elements 101 located right beneath the protrusions 30 are pushed away from the intermediate layer 3. In the embodiment, one protrusion 30 pushes one first light-emitting element 101 arranged right beneath the protrusion 30 to the adhesive unit 5. The first light-emitting element 101 is detached from the intermediate layer 3 before being in contact with the adhesive units 5 on the second substrate 202. In other words, the first light-emitting elements 101 do not contact with the intermediate layer 3 during moving from the first substrate 201 to the second substrate 202. Besides, the moving distance of the first light-emitting element 101 after being detached from the intermediate layer 3 is equal to or less than the distance between the first substrate 201 and the second substrate 202 minus the height of the first light-emitting element 101 and the height of the connecting pads 104. In another embodiment, the intermediate layer 3 has a bubble layer (not shown) and an adhesive structure (not shown). The bubble layer is formed between the first substrate 201 and the adhesive structure. The adhesive structure is connected to the first light-emitting element 101. One or more blisters (not shown) are generated from the bubble layer by heating the bubble layer, so the bubble layer (not shown) and/or the adhesive structure are/is bulged to form the protrusions 30. As described above, the first light-emitting element 101 pushed to the second substrate 202 can be fixed on the second substrate 202 through the adhesive unit 5. In another embodiment, one or more protrusions 30 can be formed to push one or more first light-emitting elements 101, and related descriptions can be referred to FIGS. 5A˜5G and related paragraphs. Referring to FIG. 1C, two first light-emitting elements 101 pushed from the first substrate 201 to the second substrate 202 are spaced from each other by three first light-emitting elements 101 while being arranged on the first substrate 201. The two first light-emitting elements 101 pushed from the first substrate 201 to the second substrate 202 can be spaced from each other by four or more first light-emitting elements 101 or by two or less first light-emitting elements 101. So, the distance between two neighboring first light-emitting elements 101 on the second substrate 202 can be decided by the number of the first light-emitting elements 101 between two first light-emitting elements 101 to be transferred while being arranged on the first substrate 201.

The protrusions 30 are generated by applying laser to the bubble layer. In an embodiment, the laser has a wavelength between 260 nm and 380 nm. For example, the wavelength can be 266 nm, 355 nm, or 375 nm. In an embodiment, the bubble layer is heated to form gas accumulated into blisters. The blister layer and/or the adhesive structure are bulged to form protrusions. The gas in the blisters does not leak out of the intermediate layer 3. In another embodiment, the first substrate 201 has a transmittance over 90% or a reflectance less than 10% with respect to the laser, the laser can pass through the first substrate 201. In an embodiment, the bubble layer includes polyimide.

FIG. 1D shows a schematic view of a light-emitting device in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The light-emitting device 1000 in FIG. 1D has a first light-emitting element 101, a second substrate 202, and an adhesive unit 5. The first light-emitting element 101 is fixed on the second substrate 202 and has the first and second electrode pads 120, 121, and the second substrate 202 has connecting pads 104. The adhesive unit 5 contains conductive particles 501, and some of the conductive particles 501 may be aggregated to form the conductive pillar 502 for electrically connecting the first light-emitting element 101 and the connecting pads 104, while the rest of the conductive particles 501 are dispersed within adhesive unit 5. In an embodiment, the pillar 502 has an upper portion 5012 close to the first light-emitting element 101, a lower portion 5010 close to the second substrate 202, and a neck portion 5011 arranged between the upper portion 5012 and the lower portion 5010. The width of the neck portion 5011 is less than the width of the upper portion 5012 or less than the width of the lower portion 5010. Some conductive particles 501 are dispersed within the insulating material, but not aggregated on the first and second electrode pads 120,121 or on the connecting pad 104. The deformation of the adhesive unit 5 can be performed by heating and/or pressing. In an embodiment, the adhesive unit 5 covers at least a part of the side surface 1012. When the first light-emitting element 101 is detached from the intermediate layer 3, there may be residuals remaining on the first light-emitting element 101. In an embodiment, the second substrate 202 includes conductive wires (not shown), active electronic elements (not shown) and/or passive electronic elements (not shown) arranged on the second lower surface 2021 and/or the second upper surface 2020 to control one or multiple first light-emitting elements 101. The conductive wires can be metal wires, and the material of the metal wire can be copper, aluminum, or gold. The active electronic element can be a control chip or a transistor. The passive electronic element can be a resistor or a capacitor.

FIGS. 2A˜2C show schematic views of manufacturing a light-emitting device in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 2A, the second light-emitting elements 102 on the third substrate 203 being pushed to the second substrate 202 while the first light-emitting elements 101 are connected to the second substrate 202 through the adhesive units 5. As shown in the upper part of FIG. 2A, a second substrate 202 and the first light-emitting elements 101, adhesive units 5, and connecting pads 104 arranged on the second substrate 202 are provided, the third substrate 203 and the intermediate layer 3 and the second light-emitting elements 102 arranged on the third substrate 203 are provided, and the spacers 61, 62 between the second substrate 202 and the third substrate 203 are provided. As shown in the lower part of FIG. 2A, the second light-emitting elements 102 on the second substrate 203 are transferred to the second substrate 202. In other words, after arranging the first light emitting elements 101 on the second substrate 202 as shown in FIGS. 1A˜1C, a third substrate 203 with second light-emitting elements 102 arranged thereon is provided, and all or part of the second light-emitting elements 102 are transferred to the area of the second substrate 202 not occupied by the first light-emitting elements 101. The third substrate 203 has a third lower surface 2030 and a third upper surface 2031, and the second light-emitting elements 102 are arranged on the third lower surface 2030 through the intermediate layer 3. To be more specific, the intermediate layer 3 as discussed above is formed on the third lower surface 2030 of the third substrate 203. The protrusions 30 are formed from the intermediate layer 3 to push the second light-emitting elements 102 arranged right beneath the protrusions 30 to be directly contacted with the adhesive units 5. The intermediate layer 3 may continuously or intermittently cover the third lower surface 2030 of the third substrate 203. For example, the intermediate layer 3 covers almost or all of the area of the third lower surface 2030, or covers only the area of the third lower surface 2030 corresponding to the second light-emitting element 102. The spacers 61, 62 are arranged between the second substrate 202 and the third substrate 203 to avoid direct contact between the second light-emitting element 102 and the first light-emitting element 101, between the second light-emitting element 102 and the connecting pads 104, or between the second light-emitting element 102 and the adhesive unit 5 before the process of transferring. The arrangements of the spacers 61, 62 on the second substrate 202 can be referred to FIGS. 6A˜6C and related paragraphs. In an embodiment, the distance between the second substrate 202 and the third substrate 203 is larger than the twice of the height of first light-emitting element 101 or larger than twice of the height of the second light-emitting element 102. The procedure of pushing the second light-emitting elements 102 to the adhesive units 5 is similar with that of pushing the first light-emitting elements 101 to the adhesive units 5, and the related descriptions can be referred to previous paragraphs. During pushing the second light-emitting elements 102, some of the second light-emitting elements 102 on the third substrate 203 are overlapped with the first light-emitting elements 101 transferred to the second substrate 202. The second light-emitting element 102 (i.e, the second light-emitting elements not transferred) which is overlapped with the first light-emitting element 101 is not transferred to the second substrate 202. The second light-emitting element 102 not transferred can be wholly or partially overlapped with the first light-emitting element 101. Although the first light-emitting elements 101 and some of the second light-emitting elements 102 are overlapped with each other, the overlapped first light-emitting element 101 and the second light-emitting element 102 are not directly contacted with each other because the distance between the second substrate 202 and the third substrate 203 is designed to be larger than the sum of the height of the overlapped first light-emitting element 101 and the height of the second light-emitting element 102 as shown in FIG. 2A. The second light-emitting elements 102 are pushed to the second substrate 202 to be bonded to the adhesive units 5 on the second substrate 202 by the protrusions 30. The adhesive units 5 are formed on the second substrate 202 before the second light-emitting elements 102 are pushed to the second substrate 202. Alternatively, the adhesive units 5 are formed on the second substrate 202 before connecting the first light-emitting elements 101 to the second substrate 202. The spacers 61, 62 are arranged between the second substrate 202 and the third substrate 203 to avoid the second light-emitting element 102 from directly contacting with the first light-emitting element 101, the connecting pad 104 or the adhesive unit 5.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the second light-emitting elements 102 are pushed to the second substrate 202 and to be separated from the third substrate 203. The space between the third substrate 203 and the second substrate 202 can be controlled to avoid direct contact between the first light-emitting element 101 and the second light-emitting element 102. Therefore, the second light-emitting element 102 which is overlapped with the first light-emitting element 101 is not directly contacted with the first light-emitting element 101 and can be kept at the same position without being removed in advance during pushing the second light-emitting elements 102 to the connecting pads 104. Referring to FIG. 2A, a laser is applied to the intermediate layer 3 to form the protrusions. In an embodiment, the third substrate 203 has a transmittance over 90% or a reflectance less than 10% with respect to the laser, the laser can pass through the third substrate 203. The descriptions about laser can be referred previous paragraphs.

FIG. 2B shows the schematic view of the third light-emitting elements 103 on the fourth substrate 204 being pushed to the connecting pads 104 on the second substrate 202 to form the light-emitting device 2000 in FIG. 2C while the first light-emitting elements 101 and the second light-emitting elements 102 are connected to the second substrate 202 through the adhesive units 5. The fourth substrate 204 has a fourth lower surface 2040 and a fourth upper surface 2041, and the third light-emitting elements 103 are arranged on the fourth lower surface 2040 through the intermediate layer 3. In other words, FIG. 2B shows the situation of transferring the third light-emitting elements 103 to the area of the second substrate 202 not occupied by the first light-emitting elements 101 or the second light-emitting elements 102 while the first light-emitting elements 101 and the second light-emitting elements 102 are arranged on the second substrate 202. The intermediate layer 3 is arranged on the fourth lower surface 2040 of the fourth substrate 204, and multiple protrusions 30 are formed to push the third light-emitting elements 103 outward from the intermediate layer 3 to the adhesive units 5. The third light-emitting elements 103 are further fixed on the adhesive units 5 by heating the adhesive units 5 and/or pressing the third light-emitting elements 103 after connecting the third light-emitting elements 103 and the adhesive units 5. The spacers 61, 62 are arranged between the second substrate 202 and the fourth substrate 204 to avoid direct contact between the third light-emitting element 103 and the first and second light-emitting elements 101, 102, direct contact between the third light-emitting element 103 and the connecting pads 104, and direct contact between the third light-emitting element 103 and the adhesive unit 5 before finishing the process of transferring the third light-emitting elements 103. The procedure of pushing the third light-emitting elements 103 to the adhesive units 5 is similar with that of pushing the first light-emitting elements 101 to the adhesive units 5, and the related descriptions can be referred to previous paragraphs. The intermediate layer 3 may continuously or intermittently cover the fourth lower surface 2040 of the fourth substrate 204. For example, the intermediate layer 3 covers almost or all of the area of the fourth lower surface 2040, or covers only the area of the fourth lower surface 2040 corresponding to the third light-emitting element 103. As shown in the lateral view of FIG. 2B, some third light-emitting elements 103 arranged on the fourth substrate 204 are overlapped with the first light-emitting elements 101 on the second substrate 202, and some third light-emitting elements 103 arranged on the fourth substrate 204 are overlapped with the second light-emitting elements 102 on the second substrate 202.
